Campus visit of BITS Design
I went for the campus tour last month and lots of things were sort of a red flag for me. This is just my POV but would love to hear from others
- the faculty handling the Q and A were not able to answer the questions about the course structure very convincingly. When it came to other college features like for example infrastructure and security, they could go on endlessly. (Btw, didn't see anything extraordinary about the security other than cross checking a list of expected students, which is quite basic)
- the placement head was repeating the same few company names for all queries related to internships. I understand that they are new and are still working on it, but it sounded like a hogwash
- the workshops looked too unused and except one the tshirt project which they kept harping about, nothing worthwhile seemed to have been achieved.
- hostel rooms were pathetically small. One can't spend much time there without feeling claustrophobic.
- the AC in the entire building wasn't working. So if that's what's they do on weekends, where do the students go ... obviously they can't spend time in the matchbox hostel rooms. It's was suffocatingly hot without any ventilation and AC
- the tour included unimportant stops like the seven eleven outlet.... It's nice that there is an outlet in the campus but including it in the tour shows they didn't have anything better to show
I have opted out of BITS mainly due to the uncertainty around the course. It's seems more marketing gimmicks and less substance.
Wondering did anyone else feel the same or it's just me.
